Posted last night, someone is apparently on the last part of a purchase For $11,744.05 to replace their 2013 24 kwh pack with a 40 kwh pack. Does this mean there is none or simply Nissan wanting to gain brownie points. As always, there seems to be customer education level but she appears to...

Getting a LOT of conflicting information and beginning to wonder how much of it might be true. As we know, Nissan is warrantying 30 kwh LEAFs with 40 kwh packs. Why? Well who knows? There is unconfirmed speculation that Nissan simply didn't have any 30 kwh packs which was NEVER verified by...

As a 5 time lessee, I have lately begun to wonder if continuous leasing was costing me more money than I wanted to admit so decided to dig out the spreadsheets to see what I have paid over the years. TLDR; $37,584.33 covering 144,036 miles costing 26 cents per mile. IOW; I just recently paid...

Did a trip to Vancouver and back yesterday mostly for a Summer range test but also took the opportunity to log the variance we know but haven't fully quantified with the inconsistent GOM. As always, the LEAF did not fail to surprise...

There is probably no real consensus of what Hx is but after reviewing several LS shots of 40 kwh LEAFs, a pattern is emerging. When Hx is low (around 100%), degradation rates are low. When Hx is high (around 118-120%) degradation rates are high. So I am looking for LEAFs that counter this...

EV-Works on Bainbridge Island, WA has successfully upgraded Steve Marsh's (TaylorSFguy) 6 bar 2011 SL to a 40 kwh pack. Other tweaks include a MUCH steeper DC charge profile. Under ideal conditions, the pack would charge at full current (~ 120-125 amps) until 62-63% SOC before the current...

Ok, so I just noticed there are vents in the hatch area just below where the privacy cover would be on both sides. I have no idea if my 40 had them so asking if anyone with a 40 kwh can go look real quick and let me know. I won't pass around unsubstantiated rumors even if it was uttered by...

They are building 150 with one opening this weekend. They will exchange ad time for fees so you get the first 30 minutes free. 50 and 100 KW stations. When asked, Volta chairman stated that there should only be one format which is why they made the "not past the end of the nose" decision...

Dk if this has been mentioned before but yesterday while turning left onto a street that was a smidge lower than the street I was on, I heard a rubbing noise coming from front right tire. Sounds like tire was rubbing on wheel well? Any one else see this? Do I need to look at getting shocks...

https://www.teslarati.com/jeff-bezos-100k-rivian-van-amazon-order/ It remains to be seen how much this order is worth but 10 Billion is hardly out of the question when charging facilities are added. Realize Amazon is only doing what delivery companies will be forced to do. Don't be surprised...

I was contacted by my local LEAF Tech that there is now a software fix for RapidGate for North America. Unfortunately, he is going on vaca and earliest I can get the update will not be until August 1st. I asked him if there was a reference # but as of now, there is not but he called it "LBC...

A few days ago, I got a chance to meet a pair of Australians in the middle of a truly epic journey. In 2011 the challenge was British Columbia to Baha in a LEAF. then it was coast to coast in a Tesla. Both were great achievements in their day but this one I think will stand alone for quite a...

If you live in Washington State or Portland OR area, "NoCord" is available now. If not, the DIY version will be here THIS Summer. https://daveinolywa.blogspot.com/2019/04/automated-charging-is-here.html

The title says it all. Local WA State developer with "fully" developed product looking for testers. Will install locally at no charge. Uses same device on his LEAF and Tesla daily. Looking for 5 people. This opportunity will not last long. www.nocord.com

Ok, so its out in so many places, I have to move it from rumor to reality. Saw video of LEAF in Europe charging at 37 KW while batteries were near 120º which is a HUGE improvement from mine which would have started the charge around 18-20 KW. So is this "fix" planned for all 40 kwh packs or...

Had to write this due to several lengthy discussions that eventually went....nowhere. If you don't care about the numbers, then skip to the last 2 paragraphs. I contend that B mode is unsafe and that needs to be fixed. Until then, I will only use E-Pedal (which is pretty much what I have...

**Disclaimer** I know some will discount a range test unless its several hours of flat land circle jerking in a circular motion. So be warned. Those types of range tests are not really possible where I live and my interest is really in range tests that apply to my situation. But if range...

My 2018 does not charge on AV DCFC. It fails during voltage test. Works on other DCFCs so wondering if anyone else has seen this? Interestingly enough, I had LEAF Spy running and it started freaking out during handshake attempt. Then that night, I charged on L2 and got up to battery stats...

Well, you already knew this was coming. A few surprises popped up while circling the block last night! :) http://daveinolywa.blogspot.com/2018/02/2018-leaf-day-two-settings.html

Be warned, its a long one and don't recommend reading from cellphone unless you are connected to Wi Fi. But prelim results are VERY promising especially in the BMS arena. MUCH more to come http://daveinolywa.blogspot.com/2018/02/as-we-all-know-my-preorder-was-for-sv.html
